A frequent at the diner, I don’t even have to look at the 20 page menu. Western omelette, cheese, home fries extra crispy, whole wheat toast. Hubby asked a good question at one of our Sunday morning outings: “Why don’t you ever make western omelettes at home?”

The answer was ” I don’t know.” Probably because it is much easier to go and order one, but they aren’t all that difficult to prepare.

The following Saturday you can guess what happened… we were eating Western Egg Muffins for breakfast. Also known as the “Denver” mix or a “Denver Omelette”, I happen to be from Denver and they happen to be my favorite eggy mix. Maybe this is where my loyalty to this egg creation comes from?

These Baked Egg Muffins also fall under a low carb breakfast category, which makes them even more appealing! Not only are they quick to whip up but they taste great and are healthy for you. Which makes them even better and guilt free to eat!

Western Egg Muffins are unique because the eggs are baked instead of pan fried, and the ham is used as a liner to hold all of the other ingredients, making it super easy to handle and eat. Oh, the things you can make in a muffin tin! Lets just say it’s a necessity in my kitchen.

You can adjust your cooking time based on how well you prefer your eggs. I prefer to keep the eggs whole, as opposed to scrambled, so that I can watch the cooking of the egg white and thus judge when they are ready. Feel free to cook them to your preference!
